Terminating a connection

There are two ways a connection can be terminated using ZilaWS.

Kicking​

Kicking a client only disconnects it from the server.

server.kickClient(clientSocket, "A reason to kick a client");

OR

clientSocket.kick("A reason to kick a client");

Banning​

Banning a client will blacklist it's IP-address from connecting again to the server. The list of banned clients refreshes with every server restart.

server.banClient(clientSocket, "A reason to ban a client");

OR

clientSocket.ban("A reason to ban a client");

The client's perspective​

The error handler gets called upon connection closing.

const client = await connectTo("wss://yourhost.com:6589", (reason?: string) => {
    //The reason param's value is going to be the reason of the kick or the ban.
});
